Where did you get this information? I just got done watching the episode and it said NOTHING about Hikari being related to the 2 filler characters.

Anyways, I thought this episode was pretty good. I think the art was a bit off at some parts, but the cute Hikari fanservice made up for it.

Although, I must say, next weeks episode looks much more entertaining. I can't wait until that Hikari's (lesbian) Rival appears :]

He probably meant how the filler boy kept calling Hikari as onee-chan. Obviously they're not related, but Hikari is the boy's "sister", though really that's more of a small term of respect since saying Hikari or Hikari-chan would be unusual in the context that, it didn't seem like they even did introductions.

I was satisfied with the Marina cameo under the context that it had very indirect LoT continuity, which was a hoso (much different feeling than Yuuki's movie cameos, and actually Marina had no general continuity anime appearances either. Top coordinator too? The least used and least developed girl ends up with the largest innate ability and successes, and she travels alone too.). With BF's weaknesses in continuity, this indirect one, although very small and essentially irrelevant overall, is very satisfying. Though of course I liked LoT, so I'd be likely to be biased.

Once again Hikari with speedy instant movement speed. That ability is useful in saving people!

So what did Hikari get flustered by from the boy's comments over several occasions? I wasn't sure what was the direct context, aside from the assumption of incompetent coordinator or something like that.

Nothing big from this episode, but it was nice and lax. Simple balance, even though nothing really happened.

Ok I dont understand what was going on with the pics because it showed about half of the second part of the episode at the start...and just repeted it again! But that little kid that put the poke'tch under the tap kinda looked like a mini Drew to me... lol all they had done was just make him super small and darker hair and have it curled up.

I see that no one believed me...
Well, I took the information from pokemon-safari, a very reliable web site, in my opinion

Well considering Hikari didn’t know who the kid and Kolink were, and considering she was surprised to learn his father was the president of the Pokétch company....methinks pokémon safari jumped to conclusions.

OH DAMN, DID I JUST SUGGEST AN INGENIUS SOLUTION TO THAT WHINY DILEMA!?

Where id team Rocket get a Psyduck from? They migth as well have captured it. Also want has happened to Mime JR it seems to have disaplears i would have figured it would have been there while they where dressed up as clowns.

ATTENTION: IN THE WHOLE EPISODE, NOTHING WAS SAID ABOUT THE FILLER BOY AND HIS "PAPA" BEING RELATED IN ANY WAY TO HIKARI. THE KID WAS JUST USING "ONEE-CHAN" WHEN REFERRING TO HIKARI JUST TO BE POLITE. ALSO, HIKARI NEVER REFERRED TO THE MAN AS "OTOUSAN" OR "PAPA", WHICH AUTOMATICALLY KILLS THE WHOLE RUMOR.

The same site that claimed that there was going to be a "special" starring Yuuki just because he was in one of the trailers for the 9th movie (which turned out to only be a cameo appearence in the movie's "World of Pokemon" opening from what I've heard)? ;/

The episode, aside from the fugly animation, was a pretty good episode (definately saves the episode from the bad animation). There was a nice reference to the games, with Rocket Gang dressed up as clowns and handing out Poketchs (as fake as they were). Reminds of the old days where they would just take a small something from the games, tweaking it for the anime yet still keeping the same concept (they do that rarely nowadays). Greggle loving Takeshi alot even though he just had it for a while? lol Though, did anyone find it wierd that in the mob of Pokemon that were being mind controlled, not a single one was a Shin'ou Pokemon except for Kolink. o_O;

The Marina cameo was nice as well.

I saw the episode in motion, and I'm just as perplexed as you are. Short on time, maybe?

They bribed it with food.

It didn't sing. (Can Psyduck even learn Sing?) It was snoring. Yawn, Snore (Is Snore an attack?), your guess is as good as mine.

Yeah, Snore is an attack... however, how can a Psyduck hypnotize a lot of Pokemon...? It was snoring... how can the snore make Pokemon like Vulpix, Espeon and the electric lion-cub, go into a trance...? Whatever Team Rocket thought it, it was smart and weird...

You can't be serious, This has been the best season so far, I like it more than Kanto, Jhoto, Hoenn, and Kanto BF combined.

D/P is indeed pretty good, but to say the 11 episodes now are better than all 450+ episodes put together of the series past is rather pathetic. It makes it hard to take you seriously with a comment like that.

Anyone who is not blinded by fanboyism can tell that D/P is relatively on par with the same level of quality AG had, as well as the original Kanto. There is nothing overly original or amazing being done this season, it is simple a revamp of the AG series.
